Is it okay to get a tetanus shot in the buttock? I got one there and now it's hurting. I'm kind of worried because I read online that getting it in the buttock isn't recommended. Why did the nurse say it was less painful and more effective there? Can you help me understand what's going on?

View allI'm really worried because I've had a fever since last night and I can't take any medicine because I'm breastfeeding my 4-month-old daughter. Along with the fever, I'm dealing with a headache and body pain. Can you recommend a mild medication that's safe for me to take?
Lung fibrosis can be a challenging condition to manage. Considering a lung transplant is a significant decision, and it's great that you're exploring options for your father. In India, lung transplants are possible, and several hospitals offer this procedure. One such hospital is the *Max Super Speciality Hospital* in Delhi, which has a dedicated lung transplant program . Their team of experts includes some of the best lung transplant surgeons in India. To be eligible for a lung transplant, your father will need to meet certain criteria, including: - *Severe lung disease diagnosis*: A confirmed diagnosis of end-stage lung disease, such as lung fibrosis. - *Suitability for surgery*: Your father's overall physical condition should be stable enough to withstand the transplant surgery. - *Absence of other untreatable conditions*: Your father should not have other untreatable medical conditions that could complicate the transplant or recovery process. It's essential to consult with a lung transplant specialist to determine if your father is a suitable candidate for the procedure. Additionally, you can also consider other hospitals in India that offer lung transplant services, such as: - *Fortis Hospital* in Delhi - *Apollo Hospital* in Chennai - *Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital* in Mumbai

I've been feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat and cold symptoms over the past few days. I noticed my oxygen levels dropped from 99 to 95, which got me worried. So I went ahead and got the rt pcr and chest CT scans done. Thankfully, the Covid test came back negative twice and my HRCT thorax looks normal. One odd thing I've picked up is that I have nasal congestion, but my oxygen levels seem to go back to normal when I breathe through my mouth. Is this something I should be concerned about?
